Google Me

If you read my introductory blog then you all know I work a variety of jobs. With this economy everyone is turning into “Hey Mon” from In Living Color. For the most part, I try my hardest to keep the jobs as separate as possible, but sometimes they intertwine thanks to a little thing called the Internet. Not to tell my age (then again you already know lol), but does anyone remember when there wasn’t an Internet? Don’t get me wrong, the Web has been an absolute blessing for me; there is no better tool for mass self-promotion. However, it does get a little odd when people you work with come up to you and say I “googled” you today. How do you respond to that? I know some people as soon as they meet someone they immediately look them up on the Internet and then they get upset about what they did or did not find out.

3 Startup Lessons I Know Now, But Wish Id Known Then

Take notes about these lessonsAfter you’ve been in business a few years you look back. Suddenly everything is so obvious. Too bad all those things that seem so clear now, were not so clear then, when you were living through the early years of your startup.

Study: Bankruptcies soar for senior citizens

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - First came the health problems. Then, unable to work, Ada Noda watched the bills pile up. And then, suffocating in debt, the 80-year-old did something she never thought she'd be forced to do.

Nifty may see 3600 levels if 3750 gets breached: Rajat Bose

believes that if the July low of 3,790 gets broken then there is a minor support at 3,750-3,755 and if that gets broken then we will head towards the 3,600 zone. He hopes that those levels are not reached today.

Small Netbook or Big PDA

Yes another contender has entered the budget Netbook arena, this one coming in smaller and cheaper then most…but even then it seems you may not get what you pay for.

A regular Flow of Content is what search engines want and require

The Internet is full of Saturday Morning Bloggers. These bloggers ignore their blogs all week, then they post a few dozen articles in their blog and then spend a few hours adding comments to other blogs. This is a great way to spend a Saturday, but it provides very little SEO marketing benefits. Search engines need a steady flow of comments. Most blogs that appear in a web search have a post that has been published within the last few hours. Dozens of blog search engines operate for the sole purpose of alerting the big five search engines of new content. The posts that you publish on Saturday are already out of the lists by Sunday afternoon. That is why it is important to provide the search engines with fresh content daily.

More printing fun with CSS

Earlier this week I talked about how to completely block printing with CSS. Then today I found this nifty tutorial on how to create a watermark on printed materials. It doesn't work too well in IE 6, but then again, what does? CSS for printing isn't perfect yet, but we're starting to be able to do fun things. Of course, Web pages are really intended to be viewed on the Web - not printed, but we're not arguing that right now, are we?

Blogonomics: The Flame Warriors

You swear a whole lot, but sometime you may want to learn the proper usage of "than" and "then". Your "even than" manages to make you look even less educated THAN you are, which I didn't think was possible, but THEN what do I know? I only went to Harvard.

24-Karat Gold iPod Nano is a Violent Mugging Waiting to Happen

Quick question: How do you make one of the world's most stolen gadgets, well, more enticing? If we're talking about iPods, which we are, then you slap 24 and 18 karat white gold all over the newest models, and then send them out into the subways inside the pockets of the today's filthy rich. Of course, for a mere $644 for the Nano and $823 for the Touch, you too can slap this cutpurse bling beacon to your side and hope for the best. Good luck, and we hope the pickpockets of your community enjoy the playlist you've selected for them. [Goldstriker via Born Rich]

'Gray' Friday? World Markets Tank, Dow Flails From High to Low

In its opening minutes, the Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 700 points, dipping below 8,000 for the first time since March 2003. But then the market reversed, turning positive just for a few minutes after 10 a.m. It then hovered just above and below that mark in the first hour of trading. By 11:30 though, the Dow was back down nearly 400 points.

Idea of the Day: Use Fannie and Freddie to Rebuild the Home Mortgage Market

If one concludes that the current housing crisis results heavily from laissez-faire ideology trumping common sense protection of safety, soundness, and consumers, then the logical remedy for the crisis and the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be to require more effective regulation. This approach would start by stabilizing the GSEs through the appropriate actions being taken by the Treasury department—and then use them to rebuild a home mortgage market based on sound lending and securitization practices, effective oversight of private actors, and regulations to ensure that even private market actors act in ways consistent with the public interest. Over the long term, restructuring the GSEs would also require a rigorous system designed to better align who wins when there is profit, and who pays when there are losses.

Why Linux Still Gives Me Grief

IconSeveral days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

13,600 Google Hits on "jerome corsi" + "scum"

He was Hitler’s chief of propaganda and in the end he became the Chancellor of the Third Reich for less than one day after Hitler did himself in. Goebbels and his delicate wife then murdered all their children in a bunker and then committed suicide themselves – we hope. With the possible exception of stooge "publisher" Julius Streicher, Goebbels was the most outspoken Jew hater in Hitler’s inner circle.
